We actively encourage parents to come and hear readers!

A reminder of drop-off and collection times:

Daily Equipment:   

  • Please ensure your child brings their home school diary and reading book in each day. 
  • They are also welcome to bring in a small pencil case with a pencil, ruler, rubber, sharpener, black handwriting pen and purple pen. 
  • Children are also invited to bring their own pencil crayons/pens, however these are their responsibility to look after!
